I continued working on my blog. 2. An hour later, I looked over, and it was “Setting up the device.”

3. Sixty five minutes later, it was ready for me to agree to the License agreement. I did that, and clicked through the wizard to set up personalization, associate my Windows Live (Microsoft ID) with my local account. And that was it.

a. With my Microsoft account, when I need to confirm something, it always sends an email to “my other” email account. This means I need to log in to a different computer to access the confirmation code. Be ready for this one if you are in the same situation.

b. If you do not have access to your confirmation code, you can select “I can’t do this right now,” and the setup will continue.

c. This portion of the process only took five minutes.

Here is a very short list of some of the things I have found:

a. I can resize the tiles so that they are small, medium, and large. This is great for consolidating a bunch of really small items that I seldom use.

b. I can group tiles by name into a group. Remember the old fashioned Program Manager from the Windows 3.x days? Well, it is sort of like that, only not.

c. I have real Outlook 20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2019/04/2010_scriptgames_badge1.png9/04/hsg_perf3_02.jpg9/04/hsg_perf4_0http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2019/04/2010_scriptgames_badge1.png9/04/hsg_perf3_02.jpg.jpg9/04/hsg-02-http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2019/04/2010_scriptgames_badge1.png9/04/hsg_perf3_02.jpg9/04/hsg_perf4_0http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2019/04/2010_scriptgames_badge1.png9/04/hsg_perf3_02.jpg.jpg7-http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2019/04/2010_scriptgames_badge1.png9/04/hsg_perf3_02.jpg9/04/hsg_perf4_0http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/20http://devblogs.microsoft.com/scripting/wp-content/uploads/sites/29/2019/04/2010_scriptgames_badge1.png9/04/hsg_perf3_02.jpg.jpg0-03.jpg9/04/questsoftware.png9/04/a-sm.jpg9/04/q-sm.jpg3.

You will need to add a tile for it, if you are going to use it all the time because the upgrade does not add in new tiles on the Start page.

d. Of course my favorite part is that it now includes Windows PowerShell 4.0.
